DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
documentation for this version of can be found in the info file
or manual
R Web2C: A TeX implementation .
The
pltotf
program translates a (human-oriented) property list file to a
(program-oriented) font metric file. Thus, after editing the property
list file, a TFM file can be generated for use with, for example,
tex(1).
Both the
pl_file_name
and the
tfm_file_name
must be complete; no adding of default extensions or path searching is done.
OPTIONS
Without the
-verbose
option,
pltotf
operates silently. With it, a banner and progress report are printed on
R stdout .
